What??? Yep, let's do a No Paper ATC. The backing must be something other than paper...think wood, felt, you can do it!! I know it!!
Then nothing on the card can be paper. Think lace, embroidery, fabric, embellishments, buttons....but not only buttons, OK?
The theme will be senders choice just make it beautiful. This will be a little challenging but fun!
(I got the inspiration from a magazine I was looking in.) I immediately thought of my farm girl friends.

Please do your best work and have fun!! Smiles
An Artist Trading Card (ATC) is a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch card that has a cardboard backing (cereal boxes work well when cut to size) Then the front of the card is decorated by either painting, covering the card with pretty paper and then embellishing it with buttons, lace, or metal objects. Most have a theme assigned to them, so you decorate according to the theme. They become addictive when you start. You can google ATC and many different kinds will come up. hope this helps!!

Oh my, I'm so sorry I thought I had posted on it. I love it and have it right m
by my current sewings and projects. I started a new job a couple weeks ago and have been hemming new clothes etc because I am such a shorty and also I be been trying to hand make all the invitations and decorations for my daughters grad party so I be just been in a tizzy. I guess I forgot to post but it was perfect and I was happy with the size to. Thank you so much and this was a super fun craft to do. Have a great spring ladies.

Malena, I just wanted to make sure you received the ATC I made you. I think I made it too big, but I really had fun doing it. You should have gotten it by now, so I just wanted to make sure there were no problems. :o)
Thank you!

Portia, It turned out adorable and I love it. Very cute and a very clever idea. I have not tried felting myself but I like the way it looks and feels. It was great colors too.
With lots of hugs and smiles, have a great day.

My first ATCs, felted wool and burlap with fabric cutouts/buttons/ric rac etc. The owl is a charm set on a leather tree branch with micro-fiber beads for the leaves. Very fun ! Oops forgot, the owl is on corkboard.

Malena, I LOVED your ATC!!! It came in the mail yesterday and brought a big smile to my face. It is so cuuuuute! Love the little purse look and the colors are gorgeous! I have the "Peace" rock on my kitchen shelf above the sink. Love that, too! Thank you so very much! Yours is done and by the door to be mailed tomorrow. I planned on hitting the post office yesterday morning but my son's sick silkie chick ended up getting my attention first. :o) Thankfully she's doing much better today!

Linda, I received your darling ATC yesterday. It is sooo cute. The tree bark just sets off the other nature-related items. You are so imaginative and creative. Yours has been ready, and mailing it just slipped my mind. It will go out Monday. Please let me know when you get it.
Thanks again,
Portia
